Manufacturer's description
In today’s world of portable studios and streamlined setups, power solutions need to be as adaptable and efficient as your creative process. Introducing the USB-C PWR inlet from Konstant Lab, a meticulously engineered power panel designed to seamlessly integrate modern USB-C Power Delivery into the realm of Eurorack modular synthesis.
This innovative panel not only simplifies your power setup but also empowers you to create music anywhere – in your studio or on the go with a suitable power bank – untethered from traditional power constraints. Whether you’re performing live, composing on the go, or simply optimizing your studio space, the USB-C PWR inlet offers a practical solution for powering your modular synthesizer wherever inspiration strikes.
Features
- USB-C Power Delivery Input: Embrace the convenience of universal USB-C Power Delivery. This panel is powered via a USB-C connector and is designed to support the USB Power Delivery protocol, ensuring efficient and reliable power transfer. To operate correctly, it requires a USB-C power bank or charger that supports 20V output.
- 20V Output for Synthesizer Power Supplies: The panel expertly generates a stable 20V voltage, making it fully compatible with Konstant Lab power supplies and other Eurorack power solutions designed to accept a 20V input voltage. It boasts a maximum power output of 100W (20V / 5A), providing ample power for even larger modular systems.
- 5V USB-A Output Port: A front-panel integrated 5V USB-A connector allows for convenient powering of external USB devices. This is perfect for sequencers, MIDI controllers, USB lamps or other USB-powered accessories directly from your modular system.
- Intuitive LED Status Indication: Stay informed at a glance with four integrated LEDs that provide clear visual feedback on your power system’s status:
- Input LED: Illuminates to indicate a successful USB-C connection and communication with the connected charger. This confirms that your USB-C power source is properly connected and providing power to the panel.
- +12V, -12V, +5V LEDs: These three LEDs are dedicated to monitoring the critical power rails for your modular synthesizer. When all three LEDs are lit, it signifies that all voltage rails are functioning correctly. Should any voltage rail drop by more than 1V, the corresponding LED will switch off, immediately alerting you to a potential issue.
- Integrated ON/OFF Switch: A conveniently placed ON/OFF switch on the panel provides straightforward control over your entire modular system’s power, allowing for quick and easy system activation and shutdown.
- Compact Form Factor & Easy Installation: The panel’s compact dimensions (70x40mm) are designed to save valuable space within your modular case. Output connections are made via two 4.8mm Faston connectors. For user convenience, cables with pre-crimped Faston connectors are included in the package, ensuring a hassle-free connection to your power supply.
- Voltage Monitoring Feedback: For precise voltage indication of the +12V, -12V, and +5V rails, the output of your power supply is fed back into the panel using a standard 16-16 pin ribbon cable. This cable is included in the package, completing the feedback loop for accurate voltage monitoring.
- Broad Compatibility: While designed to perfectly complement Konstant Lab power supplies, the USB-C PWR inlet is also compatible with a wide range of other Eurorack power supplies that support a 20V input voltage, offering versatility for various modular setups.
Package Contents: USB-C PWR Panel, cables with Faston connectors, 16-16 pin ribbon cable, screws.
Disclaimer: Please note that an external USB-C charger or power bank is not included in the basic package. The USB-C charger or power bank used must support the USB Power Delivery protocol with a 20V output. It must also have sufficient power output to adequately power your synthesizer, depending on its size and module consumption. We recommend to use Anker 737 GaNPrime 140W PD 24000mAh Power Bank with our USB-C PWR inlet.
- Weight: 70g
- Dimensions: 7 × 4 × 5cm
- Power: Depends on USB-C charger/power bank on input. Max. is 100W (20V / 5A)
- Output: 20VDC / 5A max.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
